London Guide: Shopping, Sightseeing, and more…

If you’re planning your trip to London and you’re looking for some tips: here’s my first part of the London Guide. I’ll show you my favorite sights and, of course, shopping tips. I am already working on the second part, so these are just the “basics”.

SIGHTS

Big Ben, The Parliament, Buckingham Palace, Thames, … this is a never ending list. Personally I really love the area around Big Ben and the Parliament. It’s obviously very touristy but you really have to go and see it once you’re in London.

SHOPPING

The Oxford Street is to me the best way to do your shopping in London. You’ll find every shop you could ever dream of on it. I’d suggest you to start at the tube station “Marble Arch” and walk straight ahead up to “Oxford Circus” (or the other way around). It’s quite a long walk, I know, but you won’t be disappointed. At Marble Arch you can find shops like Primark, Muji, Superdrug, New Look and River Island. Bond Street will offer Shops like Forever21, ZARA and Boots. If you want to go to the Victorias Secrets store – this is the closest station. You’ll find my favorite part of the Oxford Street right at Oxford Circus: Topshop! I could dream and talk about that shop for ages. I just love the fashion, shoes, accessories and everything else that big flagship store has to offer.

A very well-known shopping area is Covent Garden. It’s a really lovely area especially if the weather is not that nice. If you’re looking for a Shake Shack Restaurant outside of the U.S. this is where you’ll find it.

If you’re following some british YouTubers or Bloggers you have heard of „Nandos“. Nandos is a fast food chain which is best known for their flame-grilled peri-peri chicken. Some of you might think: really, you’re recommending a fast food chain? Well, yes I am! I loved the food… so why not recommend it to other people?

If you’re looking for a very special view over the city then go to the “Hungerford Bridge”. My friend and I accidentally went there and we were overwhelmed. The Parliament, the Thames and the London Eye – all at once.
